The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-168096 filed on Aug. 30, 2016. The above application is hereby expressly incorporated by reference, in its entirety, into the present application.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a zoom lens forming an intermediate image, a projection display device comprising the zoom lens, and an imaging apparatus comprising the zoom lens.

2. Description of the Related Art

In the past, projection display devices, each of which uses a light valve such as a liquid crystal display element or a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD®) display element, have come into widespread use. In particular, some widely used devices adopt a configuration in which three light valves are used, illumination light beams with three primary colors of red, green, and blue respectively correspond to the light valves, synthesizes the light beams, which are modulated through the respective light valves, through a prism or the like, and displays an image onto a screen through a zoom lens.

In such a zoom lens used in a type of the projection display device that synthesizes the light beams modulated through the three light valves through a color synthesis optical system and projects the light beams, as described above, in order for a prism or the like for performing color synthesis to be disposed therein and in order to avoid a thermal problem, a long back focal length is necessary. Further, since spectral characteristics of the color synthesizing prism change depending on an angle of incident light, it is necessary for the projection lens to have the characteristic that the entrance pupil is at a sufficiently far position in a case where the reduction side is set as the incident side, that is, to be telecentric on the reduction side.

It has become necessary for such a type of the zoom lens to perform favorable aberration correction appropriate for the resolutions of light valves. Further, from the viewpoint of installability, in order to cope with the demands to have a high zoom ratio function and to perform projection onto a large screen at a short distance, it is necessary for a zoom lens to have a wider angle of view.

A zoom lens, which forms an intermediate image at a position conjugate to the reduction side imaging plane and forms the intermediate image again on the magnification side imaging plane, has been proposed so as to cope with such demands (for example, JP2015-152890A).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In a normal zoom lens of a system which does not form an intermediate image, in a case where an increase in angle of view is intended to be achieved by shortening a focal length thereof, the size of the magnification side lens inevitably becomes excessively large. However, in a zoom lens of a system which forms an intermediate image as described above, it is possible to shorten a back focal length of the lens system closer to the magnification side than the intermediate image. Therefore, it is possible to decrease a magnification side lens diameter of the lens system closer to the magnification side than the intermediate image, and this configuration is appropriate for achieving an increase in angle of view by shortening a focal length thereof. However, fluctuation in aberrations becomes large during zooming, and thus a problem arises in that it is difficult to keep optical performance high in the entire zooming range. In the lens system described in JP2015-152890A, a problem also arises in that fluctuation in aberrations is large.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned situation, and its object is to provide a zoom lens of a system that forms an intermediate image and has high performance by satisfactorily suppressing fluctuation in aberrations during zooming while achieving a wide angle, a projection display device comprising the zoom lens, and an imaging apparatus comprising the zoom lens.

A zoom lens of the present invention forms an intermediate image at a position conjugate to a reduction side imaging plane and forms the intermediate image again on a magnification side imaging plane. The zoom lens comprises a plurality of lens groups including at least two movable lens groups, which move by changing spacings between the groups adjacent to each other in a direction of an optical axis during zooming, at a position closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image. Among the plurality of lens groups, a final lens group closest to the reduction side has a positive refractive power, and remains stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming. The zoom lens satisfies the following conditional expressions (1) and (2). 6.8<fM/|fw|  (1) 0<Ymax/|exPw|<0.1  (2)

Here, fM is a focal length of the final lens group,

fw is a focal length of the whole system at a wide-angle end,

Ymax is an effective image circle radius on the reduction side, and

exPw is a distance on the optical axis from the reduction side imaging plane to a paraxial exit pupil position at the wide-angle end in a case where the reduction side is set as an exit side.

Here, “comprises a plurality of lens groups including at least two movable lens groups, which move by changing spacings between the groups adjacent to each other in a direction of an optical axis during zooming, at a position closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image” the term means that the at least two movable lens groups other than the lens group including the intermediate image are provided at the position closer to the reduction side than the lens group including the intermediate image in a case where the intermediate image is formed in the lens group.

It is preferable that the zoom lens of the present invention satisfies the following conditional expression (1-1) and/or (2-1). 7<fM/|fw<20  (1-1) 0<Ymax/|exPw|<0.07  (2-1)

The zoom lens may comprise four or five lens groups as a whole. A lens group closest to the magnification side and the final lens group closest to the reduction side may remain stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming. Among lens groups between the lens group closest to the magnification side and the final lens group closest to the reduction side, at least two lens groups may move by changing spacings between the groups adjacent to each other in the direction of the optical axis during zooming.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies the following conditional expression (3), and it is more preferable that the zoom lens satisfies the following conditional expression (3-1). 0<|fw|/fA<0.145  (3) 0<|fw|/fA<0.14  (3-1)

Here, fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end, and

fA is a focal length of a movable lens group closest to the reduction side among the plurality of movable lens groups.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies the following conditional expression (4), and it is more preferable that the zoom lens satisfies the following conditional expression (4-1). 0.01<|fw|/fB<0.2  (4) 0.03<|fw|/fB<0.16  (4-1)

Here, fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end, and

fB is a focal length of a second movable lens group from the reduction side among the plurality of movable lens groups.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies the following conditional expression (5), and it is more preferable that the zoom lens satisfies the following conditional expression (5-1). 2<Bfw/|fw|  (5) 3<Bfw/|fw|<11  (5-1)

Here, Bfw is a back focal length of the whole system as an air conversion length at the wide-angle end, and

fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end.

It is preferable that the final lens group is formed as one single lens.

A projection display device of the present invention comprises: a light source; a light valve into which light originating from the light source is incident; and the zoom lens of the present invention, the zoom lens projecting an optical image, which is formed by light modulated through the light valve, onto a screen.

An imaging apparatus of the present invention comprises the above-mentioned zoom lens of the present invention.

It should be noted that the “magnification side” means a projected side (screen side). Even in a case where projection is performed in a reduced manner, for convenience, the screen side is referred to as the magnification side. On the other hand, the “reduction side” means an image display element side (light valve side). Even in a case where projection is performed in a reduced manner, for convenience, the light valve side is referred to as the reduction side.

Further, the “comprises . . . ” means that the zoom lens may include not only the above-mentioned elements but also lenses substantially having no powers, optical elements, which are not lenses, such as a mirror having no power, a stop, a mask, a cover glass, a filter, and the like.

Further, the “lens group” is not necessarily formed of a plurality of lenses, but may be formed of only one lens.

Further, regarding the “back focal length”, the following assumption is considered: the magnification side and the reduction side respectively correspond to the object side and the image side of a general imaging lens, and the magnification side and the reduction side are respectively referred to as the front side and the back side.

According to the present invention, a zoom lens forms an intermediate image at a position conjugate to a reduction side imaging plane and forms the intermediate image again on a magnification side imaging plane. The zoom lens comprises the plurality of lens groups including at least two movable lens groups, which move by changing spacings between the groups adjacent to each other in the direction of the optical axis during zooming, at the position closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image. Among the plurality of lens groups, the final lens group closest to the reduction side has a positive refractive power, and remains stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming. The zoom lens satisfies the following conditional expressions (1) and (2). Therefore, it is possible to provide a zoom lens that has high performance by satisfactorily suppressing fluctuation in aberrations during zooming while achieving a wide angle, a projection display device comprising the zoom lens, and an imaging apparatus comprising the zoom lens. 6.8<fM/|fw|  (1) 0<Ymax/|exPw|<0.1  (2)

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of a zoom lens according to an embodiment of the present invention. The exemplary configuration shown in FIG. 1 is the same as the configuration of the zoom lens of Examples 1 to be described later. FIG. 1 shows a state at the wide-angle end, where an image display surface Sim side is the reduction side, a lens L1 a side of the first lens group G1 is a magnification side, and an aperture stop St shown in the drawing does not necessarily show its real size and shape, but show a position on an optical axis Z. Further, in FIG. 1, on-axis rays wa and rays with a maximum angle of view wb are also shown together.

This zoom lens is, for example, mounted on a projection display device, and can be used to project image information displayed on the light valve onto the screen. In FIG. 1, assuming that the zoom lens is mounted on the projection display device, an optical member PP such as a filter or a prism used in a color synthesizing section or an illumination light separating section, and an image display surface Sim of a light valve positioned on a reduction side surface of the optical member PP are also shown. In the projection display device, rays, which are made to have image information through the image display surface Sim on the image display element, are incident into the zoom lens through the optical member PP, and are transmitted onto a screen, which is not shown in the drawing, through the zoom lens.

As shown in FIG. 1, the zoom lens of the present embodiment forms an intermediate image at a position conjugate to a reduction side imaging plane (image display surface Sim) and forms the intermediate image again on a magnification side imaging plane. The zoom lens includes a plurality of lens groups including at least two movable lens groups, which move by changing spacings between the groups adjacent to each other in a direction of an optical axis during zooming, at a position closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image. Among the plurality of lens groups, a final lens group closest to the reduction side has a positive refractive power, and remains stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the zoom lens includes, in order from the magnification side, a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. An intermediate image is formed between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2. The first lens group G1 and the fourth lens group G4 remain stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane (image display surface Sim) during zooming. The second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3 are configured to move by changing spacings of the groups adjacent to each other in the direction of the optical axis during zooming. That is, the second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3 correspond to the movable lens groups, and the fourth lens group G4 corresponds to the final lens group.

In a normal zoom lens of a system which does not form an intermediate image, in a case where an increase in angle of view is intended to be achieved by shortening a focal length thereof, the size of the magnification side lens inevitably becomes excessively large. However, in a manner similar to that of the present embodiment, in a zoom lens of a system which forms an intermediate image, it is possible to shorten a back focal length of the lens system (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the first lens group G1) closer to the magnification side than the intermediate image. In addition, it is possible to decrease a magnification side lens diameter, and this configuration is appropriate for achieving an increase in angle of view by shortening a focal length thereof.

Further, zooming is performed by moving a lens system closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image. As for the zooming operation, change in relay magnification of the lens system closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image corresponds to change in size of the intermediate image, and thus it is possible to achieve an optically simple configuration.

Further, the final lens group, which remains stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming and has a positive refractive power, is disposed to be closest to the reduction side. Thereby, it is possible to reduce fluctuation in aberrations during zooming while keeping the zoom lens telecentric.

Further, the zoom lens is configured to satisfy the following conditional expressions (1) and (2). 6.8<fM/|fw|  (1) 0<Ymax/|exPw|<0.1  (2)

Here, fM is a focal length of the final lens group,

fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end,

Ymax is an effective image circle radius on the reduction side, and

exPw is a distance on the optical axis from the reduction side imaging plane to a paraxial exit pupil position at the wide-angle end in a case where the reduction side is set as an exit side.

The conditional expression (1) is a conditional expression for satisfactorily correcting fluctuation in aberrations during zooming while keeping the zoom lens telecentric. By not allowing the result of the conditional expressions (1) to be equal to or less than the lower limit, it is possible to prevent the power of the final lens group from becoming excessively strong. Thus, by minimizing an amount of occurrence of lateral chromatic aberration in the final lens group, it is possible to easily correct lateral chromatic aberration in other groups. By not allowing the result of the conditional expressions (1) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, it is possible to prevent the power of the final lens group from becoming excessively weak. Thus, it becomes easy to make the zoom lens telecentric on the reduction side.

The conditional expression (2) is also a conditional expression for satisfactorily correcting fluctuation in aberrations during zooming while keeping the zoom lens telecentric in the same manner. By satisfying the conditional expression (2), it becomes easy to ensure telecentricity while obtaining a size of a desired image circle.

In addition, in a case where the following conditional expression (1-1) and/or (2-1) is satisfied, it is possible to obtain more favorable characteristics. 7<fM/|fw|<20  (1-1) 0<Ymax/|exPw|<0.07  (2-1)

The zoom lens of the present invention may comprise four or five lens groups as a whole. A lens group closest to the magnification side and the final lens group closest to the reduction side may remain stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming. Among lens groups between the lens group closest to the magnification side and the final lens group closest to the reduction side, at least two lens groups may move by changing spacings between the groups adjacent to each other in the direction of the optical axis during zooming.

As described above, by adopting a configuration using at most five lens groups, it is possible to simplify a configuration of the entire zoom lens. Further, in a case where the lens group closest to the magnification side is intended to move during zooming, mechanical parts for the zooming operation are increased in size and elongated, and this leads to an increase in costs. Therefore, in addition to the final lens group, the lens group closest to the magnification side is also set to be stationary during zooming, whereby it is possible to solve such a problem.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies the following conditional expression (3). By not allowing the result of the conditional expression (3) to be equal to or less than the lower limit, among the plurality of movable lens groups, the power of the movable lens group closest to the reduction side can be prevented from becoming excessively weak. Thus, an amount of movement for ensuring a desired zoom ratio is minimized, and this contributes to reduction in lens total length. By not allowing the result of the conditional expression (3) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, among the plurality of movable lens groups, the power of the movable lens group closest to the reduction side can be prevented from becoming excessively strong. Thus, it is possible to suppress fluctuation in longitudinal chromatic aberration and spherical aberration during zooming. In addition, in a case where the following conditional expression (3-1) is satisfied, it is possible to obtain more favorable characteristics. 0<|fw|/fA<0.145  (3) 0<|fw|/fA<0.14  (3-1)

Here, fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end, and

fA is a focal length of a movable lens group closest to the reduction side among the plurality of movable lens groups.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies the following conditional expression (4). By not allowing the result of the conditional expression (4) to be equal to or less than the lower limit, among the plurality of movable lens groups, the power of the second movable lens group from the reduction side can be prevented from becoming excessively weak. Thus, it becomes easy to ensure the desired zoom ratio, and this contributes to reduction in lens diameter of the movable lens group. By not allowing the result of the conditional expression (4) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, among the plurality of movable lens groups, the power of the second movable lens group from the reduction side can be prevented from becoming excessively strong. Thus, it is possible to easily correct astigmatism during zooming. In addition, in a case where the following conditional expression (4-1) is satisfied, it is possible to obtain more favorable characteristics. 0.01<|fw|/fB<0.2  (4) 0.03<|fw|/fB<0.16  (4-1)

Here, fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end, and

fB is a focal length of a second movable lens group from the reduction side among the plurality of movable lens groups.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies the following conditional expression (5). By not allowing the result of the conditional expression (5) to be equal to or less than the lower limit, it is possible to prevent the back focal length from being excessively shortened. Thus, it becomes easy to arrange the color synthesizing prism and the like. In addition, in a case where the following conditional expression (5-1) is satisfied, it is possible to obtain more favorable characteristics. By not allowing the result of the conditional expression (5-1) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, it is possible to prevent the back focal length from becoming excessively large and the lens diameter from becoming large. Thus, it is possible to suppress an increase in number of lenses and an increase in costs of materials. 2<Bfw/|fw|  (5) 3<Bfw/|fw|<11  (5-1)

Here, Bfw is a back focal length of the whole system as an air conversion length at the wide-angle end, and

fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end.

It is preferable that the final lens group is formed as one single lens. With such a configuration, a configuration using the minimum number of lenses required for the lens configuration is made. As a result, this leads to reduction in costs.

Next, numerical examples of the zoom lens of the present invention will be described.

-   -   First, a zoom lens of Example 1 will be described. FIG. 1 is a         cross-sectional diagram illustrating a configuration of the zoom         lens of Example 1. In addition, in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2 to 11         corresponding to Examples 2 to 11 to be described later, an         image display surface Sim side is the reduction side, a lens L1         a side of the first lens group G1 is a magnification side, and         an aperture stop St shown in the drawing does not necessarily         show its real size and shape, but show a position on an optical         axis Z. Further, in FIGS. 1 to 11, on-axis rays wa and rays with         a maximum angle of view wb are also shown together.

The zoom lens of Example 1 includes, in order from the magnification side, a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. An intermediate image is formed between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2. The first lens group G1 and the fourth lens group G4 remain stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane (image display surface Sim) during zooming. The second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3 are configured to move by changing spacings of the groups adjacent to each other in the direction of the optical axis during zooming.

The first lens group G1 includes eleven lenses as lenses L1 a to L1 k. The second lens group G2 includes four lenses as lenses L2 a to L2 d. The third lens group G3 includes five lenses as lenses L3 a to L3 e. The fourth lens group G4 includes one lens as only a lens L4 a.

Table 1 shows lens data of the zoom lens of Example 1, Table 2 shows data about specification, Table 3 shows surface spacings which are variable during zooming, and Table 4 shows data about aspheric coefficients thereof. Hereinafter, meanings of the reference signs in the tables are, for example, as described in Example 1, and are basically the same as those in Examples 2 to 11.

In the lens data of Table 1, the column of the surface number shows surface numbers. The surface of the elements closest to the magnification side is the first surface, and the surface numbers sequentially increase toward the reduction side. The column of the radius of curvature shows radii of curvature of the respective surfaces. The column of the on-axis surface spacing shows spacings on the optical axis Z between the respective surfaces and the subsequent surfaces. Further, the column of n shows a refractive index of each optical element at the d line (a wavelength of 587.6 nm), and the column of v shows an Abbe number of each optical element at the d line (a wavelength of 587.6 nm). Here, the sign of the radius of curvature is positive in a case where a surface has a shape convex toward the magnification side, and is negative in a case where a surface has a shape convex toward the reduction side. In the lens data, the aperture stop St and the optical member PP are additionally noted. In a place of a surface number of a surface corresponding to the aperture stop St, the surface number and a term of (stop) are noted. Further, in the lens data, in each place of the surface spacing which is variable during zooming, DD[surface number] is noted. Numerical values each corresponding to the DD[surface number] are shown in Table 3.

In the data about the specification of Table 2, values of the zoom ratio, the focal length f′, the F number FNo., and the total angle of view 2ω are noted.

In the lens data of Table 1, the reference sign * is attached to surface numbers of aspheric surfaces, and radii of curvature of the aspheric surfaces are represented by numerical values of paraxial radii of curvature. In the data about aspheric coefficients of Table 4, surface numbers of aspheric surfaces, and aspheric coefficients of these aspheric surfaces are noted. The “E±n” (n: an integer) in numerical values of the aspheric coefficients of Table 4 indicates “×10^(±n)”. The aspheric coefficients are values of the coefficients KA and Am (m=3 . . . 20) in aspheric surface expression represented by the following expression. Zd=C·h ²/{1+(1−KA·C ² ·h ²)^(1/2) }+ΣAm·h ^(m)

Here, Zd is an aspheric surface depth (a length of a perpendicular from a point on an aspheric surface at height h to a plane that is perpendicular to the optical axis and contacts with the vertex of the aspheric surface),

h is a height (a distance from the optical axis),

C is an inverse of a paraxial radius of curvature, and

KA and Am are aspheric coefficients (m=3 . . . 20).

FIG. 12 shows aberration diagrams of the zoom lens of Example 1. In addition, in order from the upper left side of FIG. 12, spherical aberration, astigmatism, distortion, and lateral chromatic aberration at the wide-angle end are shown. In order from the lower left side of FIG. 12, spherical aberration, astigmatism, distortion, and lateral chromatic aberration at the telephoto end are shown. These aberration diagrams show states in a case where the projection distance is set as distances noted in the aberration diagrams. The aberration diagrams illustrating spherical aberration, astigmatism, and distortion indicate aberrations that occur in a case where the d line (a wavelength of 587.6 nm) is set as a reference wavelength. In the spherical aberration diagram, aberrations at the d line (a wavelength of 587.6 nm), the C line (a wavelength of 656.3 nm), and the F line (a wavelength of 486.1 nm) are respectively indicated by the solid line, the long dashed line, and the short dashed line. In the astigmatism diagram, aberrations in sagittal and tangential directions are respectively indicated by the solid line and the short dashed line. In the lateral chromatic aberration, aberrations at the C line (wavelength 656.3 nm) and F line (wavelength 486.1 nm) are respectively indicated by the long dashed line and the short dashed line. In the spherical aberration diagram, FNo. means an F number. In the other aberration diagrams, w means a half angle of view.

Reference signs, meanings, and description methods of the respective data pieces according to Example 1 described above are the same as those in the following examples unless otherwise noted. Therefore, in the following description, repeated description will be omitted.

Next, a zoom lens of Example 2 will be described. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating a configuration of the zoom lens of Example 2. The zoom lens of Example 2 has the same lens groups and has the same number of lenses as that of Example 1. Table 5 shows lens data of the zoom lens of Example 2, Table 6 shows data about specification, Table 7 shows surface spacings which are variable during zooming, Table 8 shows data about aspheric coefficients thereof, and FIG. 13 shows aberration diagrams.

Next, a zoom lens of Example 4 will be described. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating a configuration of the zoom lens of Example 4.

The zoom lens of Example 4 includes, in order from the magnification side, a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, a fourth lens group G4, and a fifth lens group G5. An intermediate image is formed between the second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3. The first lens group G1 and the fifth lens group G5 remain stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane (image display surface Sim) during zooming. The second lens group G2, the third lens group G3, and the fourth lens group G4 are configured to move by changing spacings of the groups adjacent to each other in the direction of the optical axis during zooming.

The first lens group G1 includes nine lenses as lenses L1 a to L1 i. The second lens group G2 includes two lenses as lenses L2 a and L2 b. The third lens group G3 includes four lenses as lenses L3 a to L3 d. The fourth lens group G4 includes six lenses as lenses L4 a to L4 f. The fifth lens group G5 includes one lens as only a lens L5 a.

Table 13 shows lens data of the zoom lens of Example 4, Table 14 shows data about specification, Table 15 shows surface spacings which are variable during zooming, Table 16 shows data about aspheric coefficients thereof, and FIG. 15 shows aberration diagrams.

Next, a zoom lens of Example 8 will be described. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating a configuration of the zoom lens of Example 8.

The zoom lens of Example 8 includes, in order from the magnification side, a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, a third lens group G3, and a fourth lens group G4. An intermediate image is formed in the first lens group G1. The first lens group G1 and the fourth lens group G4 remain stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane (image display surface Sim) during zooming. The second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3 are configured to move by changing spacings of the groups adjacent to each other in the direction of the optical axis during zooming.

The first lens group G1 includes twelve lenses as lenses L1 a to L1 l. The second lens group G2 includes two lenses as lenses L2 a and L2 b. The third lens group G3 includes five lenses as lenses L3 a to L3 e. The fourth lens group G4 includes one lens as only a lens L4 a.
